Only 10 months have passed but the jubilant scenes in the East Anglian sunshine have long since faded from memory.
Tottenham scored five at Norwich to finish fourth above Arsenal and Son Heung-min claimed a Golden Boot. Antonio Conte spoke of a 'miracle' and the 'biggest challenge' of his coaching career to revive a team wallowing in eighth to reach the Champions League.
Then flew back to Italy and informed managing director Fabio Paratici he was ready to commit to another season, the rest of his contract.
Paratici delivered a blaze of early summer signings and all seemed positive but things have a habit of unravelling at speed where Conte is concerned and so it has proved to be the case again in a season to forget.
